I'm wanting to make Michele Foster's Fondant. So I went to the store and bought glycerin. The bottle says to dilute it with water and to use it as a skin protectant for chapped lips ect. It doesn't say that it's an edible product at all.
It says glycerin right on the label, but is this the right thing?
Thanks.
I use the glycerin from the pharmacy for my fondant. There's conflicting information about its "food saftey". I've read on a website that reported research on the topic that if it says U.S.P. that it not harmful to consume.
Some person who posted in these forums who says they are a scientist says its harmful if does not say that it's edible.
I buy it at Sun Harvest in a 16oz bottle and it says that it can be diluted and used on the skin. It also says that it can be used as a sweetener in beverages.
Before I bought that one, I bought one with a spanish label from CVS that said USP but it didn't say it was edible anywhere, so I chickened out on using it. I have a feeling it was exactly the same stuff, though.
